)We learned from 10 years of literate programming with knitr + rmarkdown - Quarto is the continuation and unification of the best parts of RMarkdown via knitr.
RMarkdown and knitr are not going away, we’re still supporting it!
I feel as if R Markdown’s birth certificate had a letter “R” stamped on it, and Jupyter had a “Python” stamp - Yihui Xie (author of knitr) 1
The main technical difference between Quarto and R Markdown is that Quarto makes heavy use of Pandoc’s Lua filters. - Yihui Xie 2
We are meeting Julia/Python users in their native language
Edit: Replaced mispelling of “tookis” with “toolkit”

.Rmd?RMarkdown (and knitr) is not going away!
For some of you - nothing changes! Keep using RMarkdown and Jupyter.
.ipynb?You can keep using them!
Since Jupyter notebooks can either be treated as a linear document to be re-executed OR as JSON with stored computation, there are additional options like: --execute ::: {style=“font-size:75px;”}
::: {style=“font-size:75px;”} . . .
Quarto can help convert back and forth between plain text .qmd and .ipynb:
